don't want the short don't give me hope歌詞

"Don't want the short, don't give me hope" 是歌曲 "Short Skirt Long Jacket" 的其中一句歌詞。

完整歌詞如下：

Verse 1:

Looking at these people here, I see no meaning in my life

Looking at the clock and wondering, how long will this party last

Feeling a bit numb, nothing’s feeling real, all these empty conversations

Looking at you and wanting to say “Baby you’re my every night fantasy”

Chorus:

But don’t want the short, don’t give me hope

Because it doesn’t seem like I can win, you seem so out of my reach

Don’t want the pain, I need to be let loose

If it’s a no, I guess I’ll have to take no

Verse 2:

Everywhere I go, I see you looking so fine

But I don’t want to seem too eager, so I just keep on my mind

I’m feeling like a prisoner on the run, with no way out

Trying to find a way to make you see that I’m not just playing around

Chorus:

But don’t want the short, don’t give me hope

Because it doesn’t seem like I can win, you seem so out of my reach

Don’t want the pain, I need to be let loose

If it’s a no, I guess I’ll have to take no

Bridge:

I don’t want to seem too needy, so I keep it cool

But deep inside I’m feeling like a fool

Trying to find a way to make you see that I’m not just playing around

Chorus:

But don’t want the short, don’t give me hope

Because it doesn’t seem like I can win, you seem so out of my reach

Don’t want the pain, I need to be let loose (Let loose)

Let loose (Let loose)

Outro:

So if you feel like I do, then you know what I mean (What I mean)

I don’t want to play games with you (Play games)

Just say yes or say no, no more guessing (No more guessing)
